This was a book from my book club's reading list that I didn't get around to reading last year because of school and whatnot but the fact that I breezed through it in a few hours but also left me just as harrowed and touched by the previous fiction I just read is amazing. I love reading good works.
This is the first James Baldwin work I've read. The human condition and raw feelings explored during this book was so intense- it could just as easily be read and acted out in the spacecraft dramas of the future than it was written in the time it was. It's great I can't wait to read more
